Members pioneerprogress Posted October 19, 2010 Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 nah it's a good amp for some folks, just no versatility.I know the 5150 isn't much of a do-all either, but I'd rather have it than the xxx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NinjaRaf Posted October 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 I KNOW!!! Goddammit. You know what, {censored} it. I dont need {censored} else hahaha. My 5150 is perfectly fine and is serving its purpose lol. All these HCAF gas inducers keep getting the best of me, and its some straight up bull{censored} haha. I need to just keep saving money for my custom, which, BTW, is on hold as of yesterday because of vet bills...plus my cat peed in my car and my car smells like cat pee, which contributed to yesterdays bad mood, and thus me trying to find something new that I dont need to take my focus away from that stuff haha.

Best way for me to kill GAS is to get off the computer and turn on one of my maps and play my LP. I fall in love all over again and forget whatever I thought I wanted.

Members Holy-diver Posted October 19, 2010 Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 I had one for a long time (for me lol)It was pretty good, I like 5150s more though. The xxx is really tight and compressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ej Posted October 19, 2010 Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 being a XXX owner and having heard you clips... I'm gonna say no. please dont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NinjaRaf Posted October 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 HA, well, I dont feel that way about the 5150. I do about the 6505 212, though. I dunno. It doesnt have everything I need for live playing, though. I only have one guitar, and Im definitely getting a custom, so I dont really consider that gas...more like a goal lol. Amp gas is always killing me. I want a titan, mako, peters, engl, framus, you {censored}ing name it haha. The thing I dont like about the 5150...its not tight enough. Thats pretty much it.

Members MLattack Posted October 19, 2010 Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 I personally like the XXX better than the 5150 I owned. In fact the only thing I think the fitty did better than the xxx was cleans, ironic I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats pretty much it. well the clean on my XXX is completely unusable, the crunch channel has more gain then ever could be used, and the lead channel has even more gain lol. But in all seriousness, the crunch channel is super tight and has as much gain/saturation as the 5150, if not more. Also, the lead channel cuts like crazy and sounds great for leads. If you don't dig your 5150 for live stuff, the XXX might be good. But its really throaty and compressed. I don't dig the compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fistacuffs Posted October 19, 2010 Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 can you keep the 5150 and buy the xxx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eudaimonia02912 Posted October 19, 2010 Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 Some of you have had bad experiences with your XXXs, I guess. For a time I owned both an XXX and 5150, and ended up ditching the 5150 first. After getting some better tubes, I was able to dial in the crunch channel on the XXX to sound more or less like the 5150. I kept the XXX because it offered me a real clean and another gain channel.

Members ej Posted October 19, 2010 Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 I liked the 112 I played for 10 minutes that one time... dude, I recommend finding one and playing it. I bought one and sold it to a buddy. I honestly don't like the sound, BUT it sounds good in his band mix and his leads really cut when they play live. Some of the best lead tone I've ever heard live actually, I just don't dig the rhythm tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DrakkarTyrannis Posted October 19, 2010 Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 HELL no. There is a reason the XXX didn't replace the 5150(like it was supposed to). The reason was because it was never supposed to as they're two entirely different amps. Honestly it's just a matter of taste. I will say you gotta put a little work into the XXX, because stock it's not all that inspiring. Tube swap and figuring out it's EQ will go a long way. Personally I prefer ultra amps over 5150s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
